As the district sweltered, four-legged friends took to the fountain to gain a little respite from the heat.

Mid Canterbury sizzles BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Every man and their dog have been looking for ways to beat the heat as the mercury climbed across the district this week. Varied sources suggested temperatures anywhere from 31 degrees to 37 degrees, with the only thing people able to agree on was it being too hot. According to the MetService, the highest temperature reached

yesterday was 32 degrees, while Graham’s weather station recorded a high of 32.7 at 2.55pm. Temperatures built throughout the week, with highs of 26 and 27 earlier in the week according to the MetService. The heatwave is expected to break today, beginning with warm with gusty northerlies followed by a change in the afternoon, bringing strong or gale force southerlies and rain, with a predicted

high of 28 and a low of 9. Saturday is set to bring morning cloud followed by fine weather and a northeast wind developing in the afternoon, with a high of 20. Sunday is set to follow a similar pattern, with only light winds and a high of 22. Around the rest of the South Island yesterday, a barefoot dash to the dairy was well out of the question as the temperature of some

road surfaces reached 62 degrees Celsius. “It’s over 62°C on the tarmac inland from Blenheim. Bare feet NOT recommended,’’ the MetService said. On the MetService’s temperature graph on its website – which offers real-time conditions with the help of the public – Mt Isobel Place, in Hanmer Springs, recorded 36.2°C at 3.30pm. Ngawi, on the south coast of Wairarapa, led the temperatures

for the North Island with 30.6°C. The main northern centres were slightly cooler, with Auckland at 26.1°C, Wellington at 25.8°C, Hamilton at 27.3°C, Tauranga at 23.2°C, Gisborne at 26.4°C and Napier at 26°C. Forecasters predicted that yesterday would be the peak of the heatwave, and temperatures could reach 37°C in parts of North Canterbury, with many more spots tipped to top 30°C.

March hearing date on council numbers By Sue NewmaN

■ RESTRICTED FIRE SEASON

Fire permits now online By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury is set to be the testing ground for a new fire permit application platform as we move to a restricted fire season. Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) have launched a new online platform to allow people who intend to light outdoor fires to apply for their permits online, and the Mid/South Canterbury area is set to be the testing ground for the new system, says rural fire officer Don Geddes. From midnight last night, a restricted fire season was imposed on the Ashburton coastal zone (Ashburton District), the high country zone and the Geraldine and Waimate Forest zones.

The two areas that remain in an open fire season are the Timaru and Waimate coastal areas. On checkitsalright.nz, people will be able to follow a simple process to apply for their permits. “I like it, I think it is a good system and most of the feedback we have had on it so far has been positive,” he said. “It is going to make it easy for the likes of farmers who will be able to apply for one permit to cover all the fires they will be lighting. “It will also allow us to keep track of how many fires are being lit and where they are … we haven’t been able to get statistics like that before.”

The move to a restricted fire season has come later than normal, but the change has been forecast for weeks in advance thanks to 17 weather stations that are scattered around Mid/ South Canterbury, constantly feeding data to Fenz to measure the risk levels. “It is very unusual for us to get all the way through January without moving to a restricted fire season,” he said. “I can remember one year we got through the entire summer without changing it, but generally it is in place prior to Christmas.” Geddes stressed the importance that this change is not a fire ban, which would be the

next stage as a prohibited fire season. “The primary purpose for the restricted season is to apply a measure of control to outdoor fires,” he said. “It allows us to put conditions on so that when they do burn, it is carried out in a safe manner.” The application process has an option to give feedback, something Geddes requested in the interest of developing the process in the future. “One thing we haven’t been getting is a lot of people filling out the feedback part,” he said. “It is important that we know what is and isn’t working for next year when we roll it out to the rest of the country.”

Whether Ashburton’s next team of district councillors number nine or 12, will be decided in March after a Local Government Commission hearing. Last year district councillors voted to reduce their number, opting for five urban and two each in the western and eastern wards. Not all councillors agreed, with Selwyn Price, Thelma Bell and Peter Reveley voting to retain the status quo. The proposal to cut numbers was put out for public submissions. Thirty-four people responded with nine opposing the reduced number. Councillors decided to stick with their decision to cut numbers to nine but three objectors decided they wanted to take their fight for the status quo to the top. On March 21 they will have an opportunity to tell members of the representation commission team why they believe the district will be better served by 12 rather than nine elected members. When councillors heard that three objections had been lodged, they were not happy when told the identity of those objectors would remain hidden. The three objectors will be among the nine who originally presented submissions opposing change. Those nine were Ailsa Burnip, Janet Gardiner, Murray Gardiner, Janet Hadley, Grahame Kelly, Margaret Livingstone, Gordon Mockford, Rakaia Community Association and Kate White. An appeal can only be lodged by one of those submitters. The reasons they gave opposing change were that 12 councillors meant better representation, a wider pool of thinking and a lower workload for each councillor.

Methven dogs, owners await park opening BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven dogs will be able to let their fur down as they run around unleashed in the town’s new dog park. It has been a long time in the making, but is now almost within reach for the town’s canines and their owners. Ashburton District Council group manager environmental services Jane Donaldson said consultation had been undertaken with affected neighbours. The next step was to recommend to the council’s environmental services committee in March that the intention to establish the dog park be publicly notified. People can then lodge submissions, and be heard if they wish, before the council makes a final decision. “I think generally there will be a lot of support for it, but until we go right through that process we won’t know,” Donaldson said. If all went well the dog park could be operational by July. Car parks and a water trough have been installed, and landscaping is to be undertaken along the rear boundary for privacy. Donaldson said the council would also be putting in a rubbish bin and bags, and in future could install equipment for dogs to use. Ideas for a dog park at the site, on council-owned residential

The gates are locked at Methven’s dog park, but when it ﬁnally opens there will be plenty of pups, including Sage, with owner Jenna Handel, keen to visit. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 300119-SS-0009 cost projections exceeded the council’s budget at the time. Among pet owners who are looking forward to the new facility is Jenna Handel.

shepherd will enjoy meeting other dogs and getting off the lead, Handel said. “It’s good socialisation for the dogs, and a good place to meet your new neighbours,” she said.

Foothills honey flies to China BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

There’s a small part of the Mid Canterbury foothills that is making a big name for itself on the breakfast tables of some of China’s most affluent citizens. That product, honey from beech tree honey dew, is made by bees in the foothills, packaged by Pure Health New Zealand and is flown into China for distribution. It’s a top-end product and one that company director Angus McKay says is keenly sought after,

company, Pure Health Ltd and started looking for export opportunities. His company doesn’t own any hives, rather it buys the honey, packs it and freights it to distributors in China. “We use connections that have been developed in Asia and we’re aiming at the top end of the market but that market’s building,” he said. His company’s involvement in honey distribution is all offshore and it markets its product through

but capturing a share of that market meant meeting some tough criteria for the product. “They wanted something similar or better than manuka honey but they wanted the sugar levels down and the sweetness up,” he said. That proved a challenge, but he was delighted to find an apiarist whose product met the brief on his doorstep. With two terms as mayor behind him and his farming career wrapped up, McKay formed a

a Chinese e-commerce site. “We’re not marketing in this district because the last thing we want is to encroach on our local apiarists’ patch. Instead we’re taking product from Ashburton and we’ve found a totally new market for it. You could say we’re selling Ashburton,” McKay said. Currently the business is flying below the radar and that’s the way he likes it, but says there are other opportunities in the wind. Word is spreading about Mid Canterbury’s honey dew, with a

team from a Taiwanese film company contacting the company wanting to film the honey process and the district. McKay hosted the group last week and said footage shot around the district will posted on the company’s You Tube channel. “”They wanted shots around the district to advertise it as a place that clean, safe food comes from. They were particularly intrigued with our clean braided river system and they did a lot of filming in the foothills.”

■ MULTI CULTURAL BITE

In brief

Classical Indian dance part of entertainment By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The graceful art of classical Indian dance is coming to Ashburton as part of the entertainment lineup at this year’s Multi Cultural Bite festival. Sisters Te Awhina Clark, 18 and Kaveesha, 16, travel weekly to Christchurch to study the dance form and are looking forward to showing festival-goers a style of dance that is as different to the popular Bollywood style as dark from light. The sisters were born in New Zealand and by Indian standards are latecomers to the dance style. Children generally start lessons around five, so their relatively late start will make mastering all eight styles of classical (Bharatanatyam) dance a challenge, Te Awhina said. The classical dance form is ancient and originated in the state of Tamil Nadu. It makes use of facial expressions and movements of the body to narrate stories and prayers about the Hindu gods and goddesses. It is traditionally set to Carnatic music. Te Awhina and Kaveesha will perform a dance called Pushpanjali with Ganesh Stuthi. Pushpa means flowers and Anjali means prayer. The performance will be accompanied by recorded music. “We will enter the stage with cupped hands and pray to God for the benefit of mankind,” Te Awhina said. The second part of their dance consists of salutations and prayers to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.

Crash holds up traffic Traffic was delayed for several hours yesterday afternoon after a trailer flipped on State Highway 1 near Ealing. Police were called at about 1.45pm to a report of a large commercial trailer having flipped with no injuries. The road was closed until about 3.30pm as the trailer was removed.

Police pursuit Auckland Police have arrested a person in Weymouth in South Auckland yesterday after a lengthy pursuit which started on the North Shore. Police responded to the incident in Northcote after shots were reportedly fired into the air around 3.12pm. The person fled the Northcote area and travelled down State Highway 1 towards South Auckland, driving dangerously and at high speeds, police said. The eagle helicopter tracked the pursuing vehicle from above as ground crews arrested the man in Weymouth, near the intersection of Weymouth Rd and Roscommon Rd. - NZME

Their performance may be the first exposure many people have to classical Indian dance, but it’s unlikely to be the last said Ashburton Indian Multicultural Trust secretary Rohini Sukul. She plans to start Indian dance classes in the Punjabi Bhangra and Bollywood styles later this year, and next year Te Awhina intends to start tutoring in classical Indian dance. The Indian Multi-Cultural group will also have a food stall at Wednesday’s festival with but ter chicken, chicken curry and

rice, samosas, bhaji and a vegetarian option on the menu. And while the event might still be days away, planning is already in top gear to ensure there is sufficient food to feed the expected crowd of thousands, Rohini said. “Last year our food was so popular we had run out by midday so this year we’ll be preparing so much more,” she said. Like most of the cultural groups with stalls, there is always a challenge finding enough people to serve food on the day, Rohini said.

As a baby left in a hot car cried and cried, members of the public searched for its mother – and found her playing on a pokie machine at a nearby TAB. Now police are making follow-up enquiries into the incident after getting a report that a young child had been found unattended inside a car on Gravatt Road, in Papamoa Beach yesterday. Officers were called to the shopping facility about 11.20am, a spokeswoman said. James Cullen, a staffer at the nearby Flying Mullet Bar, said “The baby was screaming ... [The mother had] left the car unlocked but the windows up. One of the ladies had opened the door.” - NZME

Job seeker numbers low but rising By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District might have one of the lowest unemployment rates in New Zealand, but job seeker numbers have been slowly rising over the past six years.

Ministry of Social Development figures for the December quarter show 432 registered job seekers in the district, up from a low of 297 in December 2013, an increase of 45 per cent over six years. For the December quarter there

Guardian ASHBURTON

were 262 people around the district receiving sole parent support and 426 receiving a supported living benefit. Across the district there were 1134 people registered as receiving a benefit of some kind. Infor-

you

mation provided by Infometrics available for the September quarter also indicates unemployment is rising in the district. It puts that rate of rise, 4.8 per cent, ahead of the New Zealand average of 2.9 per cent. This data

puts the number of job seekers peaking from mid 2010 to mid 2012 before dropping to an eight year low in 2014. Infometrics puts the year average job seeker numbers at 402 to the end of September.

■ CHRISTCHURCH

Crypto-currency heist ongoing Hackers are still pilfering thousands from a New Zealand-based digital currency firm, even as police investigate a multi-million-dollar crypto-currency heist that started 18 days ago. An unauthorised transfer of crypto-currency worth “a significant sum” was made on January 13-14 from Christchurchbased firm Cryptopia. The exchange went offline on January 15 as company bosses appeared powerless to stop the thousands of illegal transfers from thousands of wallets. While Christchurch detectives were called in to investigate the apparent security breach, New York-based blockchain infrastructure firm Elementus started its own analysis. It found that as much as $NZ23 million worth of cryptocurrency could have been stolen, with funds first beginning to be siphoned from Cryptopia’s two core wallets – one holding ETH, the other tokens – on the morning of January 13. “The funds were taken from more than 76,000 different wallets, none of which were smart contracts. The thieves must have gained access to not one private key, but thousands of them,” Elementus analyst Max Galka wrote on a blog. But now, even with a “very complex” police probe under way, it appears that the hackers are still draining the digital money. Elementus said in a further blog post this week that an additional 1675 ether from 17,000 Cryptopia wallets – amounting to about $NZ260,000 – had been taken. The funds began moving on Monday morning and continued throughout the day, Elementus said.

After initially thinking it could’ve been Cryptopia securing its remaining funds, Elementus said it soon “became obvious this was the same hacker”. The blockchain experts concluded that Cryptopia “no longer has control of their Ethereum wallets, and the hacker still does”. “The hacker has the private keys and can withdraw funds from any Cryptopia wallet at will,” it wrote, adding that, despite the hack, many Cryptopia users continue depositing funds into their Ethereum wallets. Detective Inspector Greg Murton said he is aware claims of a further hack and that his experts are looking into it. Police have previously said they are drawing on international expertise to investigate the theft, including members of the cryptocurrency trading community. “This is a very complex investigation, involving expert digital forensic investigators from within New Zealand and in various overseas jurisdictions, as well as overseas authorities,” an earlier police statement said. “Positive lines of inquiry are being developed to identify the source of the transfer.” Members of the investigation team have met with Cryptopia management and staff. At least $3.5m-worth of the funds hacked on the night of January 13-14 are visible in one digital wallet. Some money sent from the visible wallet to the giant international cryptocurrency exchange Binance has been frozen by that exchange. - NZME

Tonga back online soon Authorities in Tonga said yesterday they’re hoping people will be able to visit Facebook and YouTube again by the weekend as experts repair the vital undersea cable that connects the Pacific nation to the rest of the world. Tonga was plunged into virtual darkness 11 days ago when the fibre-optic cable was severed. Initially people lost access to the internet almost entirely and couldn’t even make international phone calls. Limited access was restored via satellite, but authorities blocked most people from using social media like Facebook to preserve precious bandwidth. Residents and businesspeople said they’ve had difficulty doing anything from reading emails to processing credit card payments. Piveni Piukala, a director of Tonga Cable Ltd which operates the cable, told Associated Press that it believes a large ship cut the cable in several places by dragging an anchor along the seabed. He said a domestic cable that connects the main island with some of Tonga’s outer islands was cut at the same time. He said experts on a special-

Jussie Smollett attacked

ised ship are splicing the cable back together and hope to be finished by this afternoon, at which point they can run tests and, barring complications, fully restore the internet over the weekend. Piukala said it had identified an oil tanker that was in the area when the cable was cut and would work with port authorities and police to determine whether there had been an act of negligence. He said the repairs are estimated to cost over $1 million, money the company, which has the government as its major shareholder, can ill afford.

Piukala said he hopes Tonga and other island nations might get together to share the costs of a joint backup plan in the future. “We don’t need a rocket scientist to tell us we need a better plan,” he said. “It’s a question of funding. The cost of a backup is huge, and for a country like Tonga, we don’t have the luxury of money to put aside for a disaster like this. Other priorities are more urgent.” Piukala said its first priority had been to restore internet access to critical government agencies and industries like airlines and banks. He said so-

cial media was a lower priority. “We understand people need Facebook, but we cannot talk about luxury things when we are stranded on an island without any food,” he said. Katie Silcock, the general manager of Scenic Hotel Tonga, said it was not able to process credit card payments for several days last week and had some guests cancel, but by Monday, as a priority customer, had its internet fully restored. She said many smaller operators were still without internet access and their businesses were suffering as a result. – AP

Swine flu responsible for 76 deaths in India A swine flu outbreak in one of India’s biggest tourist hubs, Rajasthan, has killed 76 people this year. Colder weather has worsened the seasonal outbreak of the H1N1 virus, with the western state recording more than a third of all swine flu deaths in India, government officials said. Rajasthan’s cities, with their imposing fortresses and pal-

aces, attract many overseas visitors, although officials said there were no reports of any of them catching the virus. More than 8700 people in Rajasthan have been screened for H1N1 this year, and 1976 had tested positive, a state health department spokesman said during the week. The worst affected area was the Jodhpur district, which recorded 23 of the 76 deaths in

Huge cocaine shipment seized Italy seized almost 650kg of cocaine in the northwestern port of Livorno, more than double the entire amount seized there last year. The street value of the cocaine found, which was discovered on January 15 stuffed into 23 large duffle bags, is 130 million euros ($NZ216.94 million), finance police said in a statement. The drugs were in a container of coffee beans that was destined to be delivered to a Madrid-based company in

the port of Barcelona. The shipment left from Honduras and was transferred to another cargo ship in Costa Rica before crossing the Atlantic, police said. While police made no arrests and did not say who they thought the drugs belonged to, Italy’s ‘Ndrangheta organised crime group, centred in the southern Calabria region, is considered by investigators to be the largest cocaine importer in Europe. – RAW

the state so far this month. Rajasthan reported 705 cases of swine flu and 53 deaths in the month of January last year. A team from the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) arrived in Jodhpur earlier this week and will spend two days to investigate the outbreak, the spokesman said. Nationwide, 4571 cases of

H1N1 virus and 169 deaths were reported by January 27, according to NCDC data.

Smollett was walking when two men started yelling racial and homophobic slurs at him, before repeatedly hitting him. “Jussie tried to protect himself and at one point the men poured a substance on him believed to be bleach and one of the guys put a rope around his neck,” a source said. “After some time the men fled the scene and Jussie went to the hospital.” According to police, Smollett was self-transported to hospital following the attack and is in good condition.

Next Batman movie© 2021 Warner Bros is dating their next rendition of Batman for June 25, 2021. This is the one that Matt Reeves has been attached to as writer and director. It is understood Ben Affleck will not be donning the Dark Knight’s tights after playing the Caped Crusader in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League and that’s because this movie will focus on a younger Bruce Wayne. Reeves boarded Batman in February 2017, taking over for Affleck who was originally set to direct off a script he wrote with DC’s Geoff Johns.

Former co-joined twins weeks from going home Former conjoined twins Nima and Dawa are weeks away from heading home to Bhutan, with experts amazed at their progress following delicate separation surgery. The 18-month-old girls are crawling, playing and eager to walk, just three months after the marathon procedure at Melbourne’s Royal Children Hospital. They have been given an all clear by the surgical team but still need some physiotherapy and nutritional assistance, Children First foundation executive Elizabeth Lodge said yesterday. “I would say we are weeks away from seeing the girls re-

turn home,” she said. The twins have delighted carers, who say they have been wonderful to look after and it will be sad to see them leave. “We want them to go home but it will be hard to see them go,” retreat manager Debbie Pickering said. The girls underwent separation surgery on November 9 after arriving in Australia in October. Initial surgery plans were postponed because of health concerns. The girls’ mother, Bhumchu, is delighted at their recovery but looking forward to returning to her four other children and husband. – AAP

Beatles ﬁlm/documentary Kiwi director Sir Peter Jackson is making a new documentary using never-beforeseen footage of the Beatles in the studio. The acclaimed Lord of the Rings director said the film will be based on roughly 55 hours of footage of the band working on songs in the studio in January 1969 that would eventually feature on the Let It Be album. “It’s like a time machine transports us back to 1969, and we get to sit in the studio watching these four friends make great music together,” he said. Released in the months following The Beatles’ breakup, the Let It Be album and movie have often been viewed in the context of the struggle the band was going through at that time.

Air NZ may be in for more pain First NZ Capital analyst Andrew Steele warns Air New Zealand’s earnings may come under more strain if the airline’s weaker-than-expected bookings are a sign of consumer malaise. The national carrier on Wednesday downgraded its annual earnings outlook, citing ongoing global woes with certain Rolls-Royce engines that have disrupted schedules. Air New Zealand also noted revenue growth will be lower than expected due to smaller increases in the domestic market – where the airline dominates – and softer inbound tourism. FNZC’s Steele said he was surprised by the size of the downgrade, given the turnaround in the fuel market. He said the airline’s December operating statistics showed negative yields on both long- and short-haul routes in a peak period for the carrier. “Company commentary highlighting domestic leisure weakness is particularly notable, suggesting increased risk of broad-based consumer weakness,” Steele said in a note to cli-

ents. “While we note that the company has commenced a review of its network, fleet and cost base, we believe the combination of Air New Zealand’s high operating leverage and a potentially softening NZ consumer environment increase the risk of further earnings downgrades.” Analysts will get an update to-

company uses a high-performance engagement framework to work with unions to find operating efficiencies, saying the goal is to lift wages and improve working conditions. E tu’s head of aviation, who goes by the single name Savage, said many of the areas Air NZ is reviewing in terms of cost savings don’t directly impact the union’s 5000 members. “However, we will keep in touch with senior management so we understand any implications for airline operations and union members.” FNZC’s Steele said the airline’s guidance for an unchanged interim dividend of 11 cents per share was sustainable for the rest of the year. Air New Zealand shares were unchanged at $2.83 as at midday yesterday, having slumped 13 per cent on Wednesday. Steele lowered his price target to $2.75 from $2.85 and upgraded the rating to ‘neutral’ from ‘underperform’ given market pricing reflected a more balanced risk-reward-profile, he said. - NZME

The previous survey showed a pick-up among consumers in the lead-up to Christmas, although retail spending during the typically busy Christmas/New Year period has been disappointing. Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment tourism

spending figures out yesterday show $4.178 billion was spent on passenger transport in the year to November 2018, down from $4.187b a year earlier. FNZC’s Steele lowered his forecast for Air New Zealand’s pretax earnings to $333 million for the year ending June 30 from a previous prediction of $386m. Air New Zealand cut its forecast for pre-tax earnings to $340400m, and pared back capacity growth. The airline has also put spending under the microscope. This comes at a time when the company recently came under pressure from its engineers to increase pay and maintain existing work conditions. Strike notices were issued by E tu and Aviation and Marine Engineers Association members in the run-up to Christmas, which threatened to disrupt 120,000 travellers during one of the airline’s busiest periods. An agreement meant industrial action was averted. Air New Zealand is seen as a company with good management-union relationships. The

his week, the main event for investors was the US earnings season, with three of the four biggest companies – Microsoft, Amazon and Apple – announcing results. Trade remained in focus with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He arriving in Washington for the latest round of negotiations. The Federal Reserve held its first meeting of the year, and in Europe, Brexit continued to dominate headlines. The US government shutdown was less of an issue, after Congress had agreed on a temporary deal to reopen for three weeks. Locally, the economic calendar was sparse. In corporate news, SkyCity outperformed after upgrading its profit outlook. The casino operator said strong growth in its international business boosted first half earnings more than expected. However, management warned second half earnings growth could be harder to achieve, given the strong result in the prior year. The company expects full year normalised profits to be only slightly ahead of its previous guidance. The company will report its first half result on February 13. Shares rose to $3.79, their highest price since mid-November. Air New Zealand’s share price slumped 13.5 per cent after lowering its earnings forecast. The airline blamed Rolls-Royce engine issues (costing them up to $40m), softening inbound tourism

traffic and slower growth in domestic travel. The downgrade impacted other tourism related stocks in the index, with shares of Tourism Holdings and Auckland Airport closing lower. Earlier in the week, Auckland Airport had reached an all-time high at $7.70. The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark interest rates unchanged at a range of 2.25 per cent to 2.5 per cent, as widely expected. Fed chair Jerome Powell issued his strongest statement yet, saying the case for raising rates has weakened somewhat and that the Fed will be “patient” on future policy decisions. Powell also mentioned that the Fed did not change its course on interest rates in response to Trump. Also of concern to the Fed are geopolitical issues like Brexit and the economic slowdown in China. The Fed is scheduled to meet next on March 19. Tech giants Facebook and Apple don’t disappoint with latest earnings. Facebook surged more than 12 per cent after beating on earnings and revenue, with daily active users growing in all geo-

graphical areas. Monthly active users jumped in every region except for North America – posting particularly strong growth in Asia-Pacific. Meanwhile, shares in Apple jumped over 6 per cent following its result. The result was largely in line with expectations and guidance was better than feared, following management’s unexpected downgrade earlier in January. Apple’s iPhone user base continued to grow, highlighting the strength of the iOS platform In Australia, headline inflation beat forecasts and rate hikes remain distant. Core inflation ended the year below the central bank’s target band, reinforcing views that interest rates will remain at record lows. Core inflation has now undershot the RBA’s long-term target band of 2 to 3 per cent for 12 straight quarters, the longest stretch since the series began. Meanwhile, the mining sector got a lift on the back of strong iron ore and copper prices, following the mining disaster in Brazil. Energy stocks also got a boost with oil prices being supported by US sanctions on a Venezuelan owned oil company. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners.

How to sell

YOUR PARENTS’ HOME

Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

There are lots of tough things about getting older. One of the most confronting is realising that the people who raised you are now in need of help themselves. Selling the home of your parents, particularly if they are in poor health, can be a very fraught time if you’re not prepared for it. If your parents are getting to the stage where their much-loved family home is too much for them, it’s a good idea to start talking to them about what they want to do before you start thinking about the steps you need to take to help them out. LEARN ABOUT THE LEGAL STUFF You need to find out as much as you can about your parents’ home and legal affairs. Do they own the home, or is it owned by a family trust? They may be of the era when there was only one name (usually the man’s) on the title deed – and it may make things easier down the track if that is updated. If the property is owned by a family trust, you’ll need to talk to the trust’s lawyer about how to proceed. Are your parents’ wills up to date? Is there a power of attorney identified in case they become incapacitated? These can be uncomfortable conversations to have, but it’s far better to discuss these issues now. It may be that your parents haven’t dealt with a lawyer since they bought the house – it’s a good idea to get one on the team now. Under the Anti-Money Laundering legislation, confirming the identity of parties is now a more significant step in property transactions. If your parents don’t have a passport or other modern forms of identification you may need to go through a more involved process with the lawyer. It’s a good idea to find out about this earlier in the process so there are no surprises later on. LEARN ABOUT THE PROPERTY It can be helpful to get an idea of the current market value of the home before you start planning to sell – and planning for your parents’ next move. You can research online, pay for a valuation by a registered property valuer or ask local real estate agents for a current market appraisal. Be realistic about what can be done to get the best price and consider whether there are time constraints. We recommend getting a valuation done by a registered property valuer if you or another family member are thinking they might buy the property. This is also useful if family members have differing views of its value.

LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS Do some informal market research about real estate agents in the area and arrange to talk to a couple of them about your parents’ situation. Unless they have specifically requested otherwise, make sure your parents are part of this conversation. Many real estate agents will have had a lot of experience dealing with people in similar situations and they will recognise this is a potentially stressful time. Licensed real estate agents are obligated to act in good faith and deal fairly with both buyers and sellers. This means they must use their good

judgement when dealing with older people. If neither you or your siblings live close by, it can be useful to identify a trusted person who can accompany your parents to any meetings with the real estate agent or lawyer. Ask for all meetings to be documented so you are all on the same page. This can be especially useful if you are having to convey information to other family members. Any documents requiring signing, such as the agency or sale and purchase agreement, should be reviewed by the lawyer first to ensure your parents are making the best decisions. Before you decide to proceed with an

agent, ask them how they propose to market the property and arrange any viewings or open homes. LEARN TO TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME If there are minor jobs that need to be done, or major decluttering, work out a plan to get this done in a way that doesn’t cause your parents undue stress. Selling a property is a bit like eating the proverbial elephant. Do it one little bit at a time and you’ll get the job done.

Harvest your crops. Right now, everything is in abundance. Cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, beans, eggplants, chillies and onions to name a few. Take note of where you planted them, so you can move your crops’ locations

around next season. Continue to keep up your watering. Tomatoes, cucumbers and melons thrive on extra water – the more water the juicier they will become. Remember to keep your watering away from their leaves though, if possible. But for your chillies, when they are close to being harvested, easing back on their watering can help them raise their heat intensity. You can now start planning your autumn and winter vege garden. Broccoli, cauliflower, beetroot, leeks, spinach, rhubarb and silverbeet can all be planted right now. Try to have the ground clear for a few weeks in between crops. Use this time

to dig through some lime and compost, and give the soil a good turning over. Keep up your summer vege planting too. Lettuces, basil, spring onions and other salad veges can be planted every few weeks to ensure your house has plenty of salad supply. February can typically be very humid, so watch out for fungal disease that can spread quickly in this weather. Powdery mildew targets your cucumbers, peas, beans and courgettes. Keeping reasonable gaps between plants is one way to prevent its onset. You can thin out your carrots and keep plucking laterals off your tomatoes. If you’re feeling like your

tomatoes are a bit slow this season you can always help assist in their pollination. Take a kid’s paintbrush and lightly spread the pollen from one flower to the next, to pollinate them. Trim back your perennial herbs such as oregano and rosemary. Cutting back the branches in half will stop the plant from going leggy and help prepare it for the colder months. Remember to hang the thinnings up to dry, to use the leaves later for cooking. A couple weeks in a breezy spot should dry them out. Then simply chop up and store in a labelled jar.

Advanced across the board

itsubishi New Zealand is so confident about its new Triton utes it expects a 25 per cent increase in sales during the next 12 to 18

months. The Triton is in an exceedingly strong position as the country’s third best selling ute. The new Triton has a more robust profile, greater ground clearance and is fitted with some of the latest driver assist and safety technology that have traditionally be found on sedans. However company officials say the new model retains the strengths of the existing model - durability, price competitiveness and a 10-year warranty. The new Triton is on sale right now, with special introductory prices of $35,990 through to $49,990 for the top spec VRX 4wd auto. The run out model (GLX-R 2wd Manual) is still available for an incredible $29,990. Mitsubishi New Zealand says the existing Triton is the fastest-growing mainstream 4WD ute on the New Zealand market. “More and more Kiwis are looking to combine the luxuries of a lifestyle vehicle with the performance of a ute and Triton’s increasing popularity reflects its ability to deliver that,” said Reece Congdon, Mitisubishi New Zealand head of marketing and corporate affairs. The Triton has already taken the third

best-selling ute position from Holden Colorado. While the Triton has traditionally appealed to fleet and price-sensitive individual buyers, Mitsubishi New Zealand believes the new models will have broader appeal. The new Triton boasts a more rugged appearance than the existing models,

offers more rigidity, and improved off-road performance. The top-end 4-wheel-drive models are equipped with a new off-road mode with gravel, mud/snow, sand and rock settings, offering greater all-terrain performance. The new Triton models are fitted with hill descent control functions, and all of them will have a new six-speed automat-

ic transmission, which offers smoother acceleration and less engine noise at high speeds. The existing range’s high durability ladder-type frame and high impact protection cabin structure is retained, but there are a host of active safety and driver assistance systems added to the Triton for the first time.

Luxury you can afford Roger Hart ROAD TEST

an Carter sometimes features in the publicity for some very invitingly priced 9-day, all-inclusive tours to China (ex-Auckland). Haval (Have-it-all) rival this, with the pricing and equipment of their SUV range, the compact H2, medium size H6 and large 7-seat H9. And they’ve been noted to say “Luxury you won’t have to sell the house for”. China buys more new vehicles than any other country and Haval, who specialise in SUVs is number one in that sector there. And has been for many years. I haven’t driven the H6, but have the H2 and H9. There’s two models, Premium and Lux in the compact sized, 4.3 metre long, 5-star ANCAP rated, H2 range. The Lux version of the H2 ($27,990 +ORCs) which comes with additions to the generous amount of standard kit that the Premium, complete with a sun-roof has. The Lux adds mood lighting, two-tone leather type covered seating, front ones heated and the driver’s with power adjust-

ment, dual climate air-con and more. Power comes from a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol producing 110kW and 210Nm of torque from 2200-4500rpm. There’s a 6-speed auto with selectable drive modes and frontwheel-drive. The result – it’s a keen performer, and easy to drive both around town, and on the open road where with its multi-link rear suspension was a tidy handler with a very comfortable ride. Sitting beside the H9, the H2 is decidedly petite, for the H9 in either Lux or Ultra

guise are Big! They sit nearly 4.9 metres long, 1.92 metres wide and 1.9 metres high and weigh in at 2230kg. Accordingly there’s heaps of space inside the leather furnished cabin, especially so for the front and second rows. The latter slides back and forwards for more leg space as required for the third row, which itself rises and lowers electronically. It is however best accessed from the driver’s side, or through the high opening hatch.

For the $47,990 (+ ORCs) Ultra model as driven, the front seats have heating, ventilation and an invitingly good massage function. Plus there’s plenty of light through the panoramic sun-roof. For such a large SUV, that it has a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol under the bonnet is a bit of a surprise. But it delivers 180kW and 350Nm of torque right from 1800 to 4500rpm and the smart 8-speed ZF auto, complete with paddle shift makes the best use of this. Loaded with five assorted sized infantry in the back rows, it both accelerated and cruised in a very acceptable manner during our drives about the county. The trip computer wasn’t too far away from the claimed overall figure of 10.9L/100km. No real hill driving was involved and the tow rating of 2500kg not tested because there wasn’t a tow bar. On or off-road the compliant suspension soaked up all the bumps in a most convincing way. Then you keep in mind H9’s height and weight as you approach and depart sharper corners. Off-road armament includes the selectable All-Terrain low-range 4WD, hill-start/ descent controls, and electronic diff lock and 700mm fording depth. These very well equipped, keenly priced Haval come with many driver aids together with 5 year/100k warranties and road assist.

Variety, the spice of life Bernard Egan MOTORING

hey say variety is the spice of life and whoever “they” are they’re right. There was a real variety of vehicles driven on the Ashburton Vintage Car Club Annual Rally last Saturday. Over 50 vehicles appeared, ranging from the small to the large, very old to more modern and two wheels to four wheels. After completing field tests and an enjoyable tour towards the hills, those taking part found themselves at the Mayfield Domain. Later they returned to Ashburton and many enjoyed an evening meal to round off what was a very pleasant day. The Rally was the second event staged by the Club so far this year – the first took place on New Year’s Day. In April the club is hosting the National South Island Easter Rally when they will welcome many visitors to town. That event, during which there will be an opportunity for the public to see many

interesting vehicles, coincides with the club’s 50th birthday. Funny how sometimes one is reminded of something and then sees it. A recent rerun of the 1967 – that’s right 1967 – film The Graduate was a reminder that Ben the graduate, played by previously unknown actor Dustin Hoffman, was given a rather nice graduation present by his affluent parents. A red Alfa Romeo Spider 1600, also known as the Duetto. The car seemed rather special at the time and many of us saw one last Saturday. Frank Sandys has an almost identical car, which he drove on the Vintage Car Club Annual Rally. Like the car in the movie, Frank Sandys in his ‘Graduate’ version of the Alfa Romeo Spyder, pictured chatting to Neil Clemens. Frank’s car is left hand drive and just as the car in the uct back in those days it’s fascinating to Simon and Garfunkel. movie seemed unique at the time his car wonder if the film was produced today in The film is about Ben, son of wealthy still does today. a current setting would the same advice be parents who has returned home following Frank says his car performs and motors offered. his graduation but is at a loss and wonderreally well. ing what path he should follow in life. Plastics were not all that was suggested I, it has a lovely exhaust burble which Wanting to offer advice one of his parto Ben the famous Mrs Robinson also had in one respect is a little ironic, as one of ent’s affluent friends tells Ben he has just some ideas! the songs in the soundtrack of the film is one word of advice. Plastics! But that’s another story. The Sound of Silence, written and sung by A relatively new and exciting prodAnd another great song.

Confessions from a motoring writer’s weekend

alk about the life,times and challenges of a motoring writer. Our colleague Roger is often asked “what car will you be test driving this week?” Others who will remain nameless sometimes have a sneak peek to see what’s parked in his driveway. You have to be pretty talented to be able to get out of one car and often immediately get acquainted with another which could be quite different. Nowhere was this better demonstrated than last weekend. Saturday saw Roger riding solo on his vintage AJS Motorcycle – on Sunday accompanied by three willing passengers he was test driving a fabulous brand new Mercedes Benz. During the test drive the opportunity was

taken to check one of the routes for the Vintage Car Club Easter Rally. The occupants of the car also enjoyed a stop at one of their favourite places – the Mount Somers library. Set up by local volunteers in the old Post Office the library is a wonderful place which houses a great collection of books. Visitors are always welcome. Last Sunday Roger and his crew were welcomed by Pam Annand, who being a loyal reader of our local newspaper guessed what the group were up to, asked about the car and couldn’t resist trying it out for size. Next in line for Roger to test drive is a pretty impressive Double Cab Ute. So being a motor writing requires a lot of talent and a few challenges, all of which come naturally to Roger.

Extravaganza! P eople go motoring for all sorts of reasons, maybe for business often for pleasure and holidays. Consequently the vehicles we travel in vary. Motorhomes have become a very popular holiday vehicle and with increased popularity the range, style and level of comfort have changed accordingly. Those who enjoy freedom love the idea of travelling in their home away from home. These days there are motorhomes to suit everyone and this will be evident at the South Island Motorhome Show, being staged by the Lions Club at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Saturday 16 and Sunday February 17. We’ll have a bit more to say about this before the Show but in the meantime we suggest noting your calendar about this must-see show.

OUR VIEW

Hoping our boys grab Hawke Cup T

hey’re builders, dairy farmers, landscapers and in some cases students, but today a group of Mid Canterbury locals get the opportunity to switch from their normal life and gain a slight insight into the world of professional sport. And should the group of men who last night headed to Invercargill in the hope of bringing cricket’s Hawke Cup back to our district on Sunday evening prove to be successful in their endeavours, they will also go down in history. It’s a rare occasion that in the cricketing sphere we get a shot at something as significant as the Hawke Cup.

15 years ago, we held it aloft, only to lose it the next year. It’s been that long. It’s that tough. But starting today we get a shot after a very good summer out in the middle. The changes this group of men will face today are huge from what they already know. Mid Canterbury cricket sides are used to travelling long

distances crammed into a hired mini-van but instead last night, courtesy of New Zealand Cricket, they hopped on a plane and flew down instead. You can liken the challenge ahead as similar to that of the Mid Canterbury Rugby side when they square off against Canterbury in a Ranfurly Shield rugby match. The little country hicks out to try and roll the big city slickers. With a population of close to 100,000 people, there’s three times as many people from which Southland can draw from. Their resources are much stronger. They have a senior cricket com-

petition that by far exceeds the four sides who play in ours. They should be better. They might be better. But our lads, wearing the baggy green and gold of our district won’t be worried about that. They’ll be facing the challenge one wicket and one run at a time. Who is standing down the other end of the pitch either ready to blast the ball back past their head or fire the ball down in an attempt to break their stumps will be irrelevant. They’re all just cricketers for the next three days. What their background is, or where they come from doesn’t count for much out

in the middle. It’s now all about application and skill and over all else, desire. Something we know our Mid Canterbury lads won’t lack for. It’s been that long that the urge to bring the cup back to Ashburton will be bigger than ever. And so, I’m sure I speak on behalf of everyone in the district when I wish the Mid Canterbury boys the best of luck for the next three days. Win, lose or draw it’s a huge achievement and we, as a district, should be proud of them just getting to this point. Anything else is a really big bonus.

Five years ago: The United Nations’ secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon, pressed the US and Russia to help ensure that peace talks aimed at stemming Syria’s civil war would resume soon after a week of peace talks ended in Geneva with no concrete progress. One year ago: A judge ordered a Wisconsin girl, Morgan Geyser, to be committed to a mental hospital for 40 years for stabbing a classmate when she was 12-years-old to curry favour with the fictional horror character

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, February 1, the 32nd day of 2019. There are 333 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On February 1, 1960, four black college students began a sit-in protest at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, where they’d been refused service. On this date: In 1790, the US Supreme Court convened for the first time in New York. In 1842, the New Zealand Company’s first South Island settlers arrived in Nelson. In 1862, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, a poem by Julia Ward Howe, was published in the Atlantic Monthly. In 1942, during World War Two, the Voice of America broadcast its first programme to Europe, relaying it through the facilities of the British Broadcasting Corp in London. In 1943, during World War Two, one of America’s most highly decorated military units, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, made up almost exclusively of Japanese-Americans, was authorised. In 1946, Norwegian statesman Trygve Lie was chosen to be the first secretary-general of the United Nations. In 1959, men in Switzerland rejected giving women the right to vote by a more than 2-1 referendum margin. In 1968, during the Vietnam War, South Vietnam’s police chief (Nguyen Ngoc Loan) executed a Viet Cong officer with a pistol shot to the head in a scene captured by news photographers. In 1979, Iranian religious leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini received a tumultuous welcome in Tehran as he ended nearly 15 years of exile. In 1981, Trevor Chappell bowled underarm to a New Zealand batsman during a 50-over cricket match. In 1994, Jeff Gillooly, Tonya Harding’s ex-husband, pleaded

Great way to celebrate an anniversary T

his Sunday is our wedding anniversary. I remember when I was a wee fella and my parents would say stuff like “gee time flies” and I would think to myself, no it doesn’t, Christmas is forever away. I think it’s just part of creeping on in years. The year of wedded bliss has absolutely flown by! I asked Manda what she wanted to do to celebrate and she said I have always had watching the Breakers play on my bucket list so we are heading off to Auckland for the weekend. I have seen them play a couple of times in the past and both times in the nice corporate seating area. My mate used to work for one of the companies who sponsored the Breakers, in fact they did quite a bit of sports sponsorship. He also shouted me to the NZ Golf Open a couple of times as well, once again in the corporate area! He has SELFISHLY changed jobs! Something about it being better for him and his family, without a thought for his sports fan mate! There is nothing like watching sport, live and in person. Especially when you play or have played the sports in question and really appreciate the skills required to do what they do. It’s pretty amazing to wander around watching golfers like Ryan Fox letting it rip off the tee or shape one around some trees and hit the green. It’s also pretty surreal when you have Sir Ian Botham wander past you on his way to the tee and say “Alright lads, how’s it going”? He and Viv Richards were playing in the Pro Am. Followed by Stephen Fleming, Shane Warne,

OFF THE AIR

Ricky Ponting and Brian Lara. When I think of great sporting moments that I have witnessed in person there’s a couple that leap straight to mind. No, it’s not watching the mighty Manchester United, or walking into Lords and seeing Alan Donald bowling to Desmond Haynes. Both are cricket matches. The first was back in the early ’80s and an ODI at Lancaster Park. It was the best day for a young cricket field, but mainly for the off-field action. The crowd was so unruly; Geoff Howarth threatened to take the New Zealand team off the ground if the crowd didn’t settle down. There was a streaker, who stopped and took a photo of the white coat brigade chasing him, before hopping over the fence and getting swallowed up by the crowd. There was at least one live duck released onto the ground. It was raining with empty beer cans. I remember putting the cake tin I had taken my lunch in on my head at one stage and hearing more bangs than a Jehovah Witness at the front door. Lance Cairns sent a couple out of the ground over the number 3 stand to round out a mint day. The other memorable moment in Hoops’ sports watching was at the same venue in 2002 when Nathan Astle scored the fastest 200 in test cricket. We were there on a cricket

And talk about superb timing on the pitch, we couldn’t believe what we were watching as Andrew Caddick got sent over the number 1 stand time and time again. The faster he bowled, the further Astle hit him over his head. It was the most amazing innings to watch. It was another mint day, but this time more for the action on the field, although the Barmy Army were in fine voice in the

Thirty years ago, when I first moved to New Zealand, I could not believe the main arterial road of the South Island was a single lane carriage road! Really? Here we are 30 years later and, besides the implementation of a dozen or so passing lanes, allowing minimal overtaking, it basically still is! I applaud Andrew Falloon for his advocation of this important

issue but it begs the question of what did the National Party do in its three terms as government? Now we are stuck with this mostly unelected, impotent leadership whose concern is centred on whether I use a plastic bag for my purchases and the such like, instead of how we can make this the prosperous, effectual and useful nation that it has the potential to be. Making our roads ‘safe’ by

bringing everyone down to the slowest driver on the road, as Jo Luxton advocates, is nonsense, as a frustrated and angry workforce left to follow behind large vehicles or incapable drivers is not a safety feature but a recipe for risk taking. Let us get off our backsides and onto our soapboxes and support the efforts of people addressing the real issues facing this district! Tracy Fisher

■ TOP TROTTER OUTED

In brief

Speeding Spur stood down Star trotter Speeding Spur has been stood down for two months after ‘bleeding’ in the Group 1 A$250,000 Great Southern Star in Melbourne on Saturday night. Speeding Spur dropped out to finish eighth after leading up in the big Group 1 event and a postrace scope revealed him to be a Grade 4 bleeder. He has been stood down for 56 days and must trial to the satisfaction of stewards, and exhibit a clear scope before resuming. Andrew Grierson, leading equine veterinarian and the horse’s co-owner, said the horse would not have been stood down under New Zealand’s regulations. “There was no blood out of the nostrils.” Co-trainer John Dickie confirmed that Speeding Spur returned to Auckland yesterday morning and he would be given two weeks off at an agistment property. Plans for the Rowe and Anzac Cups at Alexandra Park in late April/early May are still a possibility, as is the New Zealand Trotting Championships at Addington on April 5. Speeding Spur won by the Trotting Championships and the Rowe Cup last season. “First and foremost, we want to see if comes back from what has happened,” said Dickie. “He’s eligible to make those three races, and the last two at Auckland especially, I would like to think we can get him to them. “But beyond, that, who knows? “Ultimately it will be up to Andrew to decide,” said Dickie, strongly intimating retirement may be looming. In other news, Grierson said connections had been notified that Speeding Spur would be likely be promoted to second place in the Inter Dominion Grand Final (A$150,000), held at Melton on December 15.

Palmerston North trainer Lisa Latta struck early on the first day of New Zealand Bloodstock’s Book 2 Sale at Karaka yesterday. The Central Districts horsewoman went to $160,000 to secure lot 755, the Kermadec colt out of Flying Spur mare House of Borgia from Westbury Stud’s draft. It was Latta’s biggest purchase of the week after she was active in the Book 1 session, signing for three yearlings for a total of $260,000. She was happy with her purchase and said she only had to go a little over her expected price to attain the colt. - NZME

A full-brother to Group One performer Hypnos is set to return to Karaka in November after being knocked down to the $270,000 bid of former Melbourne Cup winning trainer Brian Jenkins yesterday. The Reliable Man colt, out of Elusive Quality mare Quality Dream, went through the ring as lot 872 in Westbury Stud’s draft. Jenkins was pushed all the way by bloodstock agent William Tai, but was able to secure his pick of the sale with a final bid of $270,000, topping the first day of the Book 2 session of New Zealand Bloodstock’s yearling sale. Jenkins said he couldn’t fault the son of Reliable Man. - HRNZ

light, who performed below-par in the Group 1 A$100,000 4YO Bonanza at Melton on Saturday night. A stable representative for trainer Cran Dalgety confirmed

Pat’s Delight, who has been in Victoria since November, and contested the Inter Dominion Series, would be skipping the upcoming Chariots Of Fire in Sydney and return home. - NZHN

Reid unfazed by second-line draw Kiwi trainer Steven Reid isn’t letting the cold hard facts of the barrier draw for Saturday’s Hunter Cup dent his confidence. Because as Reid sees it, last Saturday showed him a good draw can quickly become a bad one and vice versa. Reid has Star Galleria in the A$500,000 Hunter Cup and Utmost Delight in the A$30,000 Pure Steel at Melton this Saturday. Both have tricky draws, with Star Galleria drawn the second line and Utmost Delight wide on the front in a small field. But while Utmost Delight has a class edge on many of her rivals, Star Galleria not only fac-

es the might of the All Stars but the even more unenviable task of giving Tiger Tara a start as he has drawn seemingly perfectly at barrier three over the 2760m mobile. “That doesn’t look good, especially if Tiger Tara is at his best,” says Reid. “But often in big races what can seem a good draw can be a bad one and vice versa. “Last Saturday I thought we had a good draw with Utmost Delight in the Ladyship Cup and she ended up sitting parked in a 1:51 mile rate for the 1720m and the horse who won (Carla’s Pixel) came from the second line. “So I am not going to let the draw bother us too much because the horse is very, very well

Trainer Steven Reid and we have Tony (Herlihy). “Sure, Tiger Tara might be too good on his best form, but first he has to turn up in that form and even then I just hope there is some early pressure and we can come into the race later.” That looks likely as the All Stars

pair of Thefixer and Cruz Bromac are also drawn the second line and if the trio settle back they could all move together. Whether that is good enough to sit parked or one-one and come from behind Tiger Tara is what we will all find out. “The good news is I couldn’t be happier with my horses,” says Reid. “The heat hasn’t affected them at all and they seem right at the top of their game. Maybe Star can’t win from that draw against Tiger Tara but funny things can happen in big races.” Reid is far more confident with Utmost Delight as she takes on a mixed bunch in the Pure Steel. “She was good last week after sitting parked and I think she will be very close to her peak.” - HRNZ

Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh is thrilled with his Gr.3 Woburn Farm Classic contenders Scotch and Chiaretta but less than pleased with their draws for tomorrow’s 1200m New Plymouth two-yearold feature. Chiaretto drew barrier 10 of 11, while last-start course winner Scotch drew only marginally better in eight. “The draws are horrible. I couldn’t believe they both drew wide,” Marsh said. “Chiaretta will go back from out there and hopefully she can be hitting the line strongly but Scotch has more tactical speed and can take up a handy position.” - NZME

Top trainer arrested Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Darren Weir has been arrested along with two others during a police raid of his Victorian stables where a gun and taser were seized. Victoria Police and Racing Victoria raided stables from 6am yesterday. Three people have been arrested including Weir, 48, a 38-year-old Yangery man and a 26-year-old Warrnambool man. Those matters include obtaining financial advantage by deception, engaging in conduct that corrupts a betting outcome and use of corrupt conduct information for betting purposes.

Jakkalbomb impresses Three-year-old Jakkalberry filly Jakkalbomb asserted herself as a Classic contender this season after her impressive runner-up performance behind Secret Allure in the Gr.3 Desert Gold Stakes (1600m) at Trentham on January 19. The Janelle Millar-trained runner is being set for a tilt at the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) in March and will take her next step on that path when she competes in the Listed Fasttrack Insurance Oaks Prelude (1800m) at New Plymouth on Saturday. - NZME

Up for the challenge The Mid Canterbury side for the Hawke Cup challenge against Southland: Matt Winter ©, Nick Gilbert, Will Southby, Des Kruger, James Southby, Archie Redfern, Matt Tait, Alex Hooper, Richard Turpie, Sean Stagg, Jay Houston and Deon Biggs.

Will Southby BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It’s been a long time in between drinks, but Mid Canterbury cricket returns to the big time today at Queens Park in Invercargill to have a crack at one of New Zealand cricket’s most prized possessions, the Hawke Cup. And if the Cup is to make its way back to Ashburton for the first time since 2004, then it’s going to come down to one aspect of the game, getting runs on the board with the bat. That’s the view of the side’s coach, Garfield Charles as he too prepares for one of his biggest challenges in the sport. “It’s pretty basic, we’re going to have to score some runs, and bat for a bit of time. “We’ve got to a three-day format this weekend, which is a new thing for most of our players and you can’t really do much coaching on that side of things, it’s more down to individual application from players,” he said. Opening bats, Matt Winter and Nick Gilbert, will be asked the question first, but there is some depth to the Mid Canterbury line-up through the likes of Will Southby, Des Kruger, James Southby, Archie Redfern and Matt Tait. But with the ball in hand is where Mid Canterbury have been most lethal this season, so the mind shift to getting the maximum out of the willow will be interesting. “Not in our favour there is that we’re playing a side who themselves are very good with the bat. “But they are also stacked with spin bowlers, which gives a pretty good indication of what kind of pitch we are going to be greeted with.” It’s those sort of factors where Garfield is going to have to look to his senior players to help guide the younger, less experienced minds through the occasion.

A lot of that responsibility will fall on the shoulders of captain, Matt Winter – but he does have some more than qualified allies amongst his team-mates. Des Kruger made his Hawke Cup debut in 2006 while still at school and Nick Gilbert has been a frequent figure in the side for the best part of the last decade as well. While experience is golden in any circumstance, it might just be a relative newcomer to the scene who holds the key to success. Richard Turpie’s name has been bandied about in the cricketing scene for a few years now. His exploits as an age group player is almost unparalleled in these parts, with Canterbury selections and even higher honours falling his way. But this season, it’s been Mid Canterbury who have benefited the most from his skillset. He demolished Otago Country in a second innings spell of bowling that would have made any international cricketer proud with figures of 8-13, and then backed that up with 5-25 in the first innings against North Otago to help his side to the required first inning points needed to make it to this next stage of the competition. On a wicket that looks like it will be spin-bowler friendly, Turpie’s challenge along with Mid Canterbury’s other speed merchants will be to extricate something from it that works in their favour with Southland a notoriously strong batting side. “They bat deep and they bat long,” Charles said. “And that’s going to be a big challenge for our bowlers and it may require some to step up and play one of those roles which turn a game on its head to bring us into contention.

“We’ve got the sort of players that can do that, no doubt.” While Turpie will be lay integral role, the contributions of Alex Hooper, Deon Biggs, Jay Houston and Sean Stagg will be equally as valuable. But it could be a player like James Southby – a noted spinner, who could be expected to give the most overs for his side. “James has all the right attributes, but he’s still honing his craft a bit, so we might have to throw him into the deep end this week and ask a fair bit of him.” Charles said the side had enjoyed four trainings together to prepare for the match and he felt his side was as ready as it would ever be for the challenge. “We don’t have to hammer home to them how important this match is, or just how big of an occasion it’s going to be for them. “They know, we’ve just been there to help them be as ready as they possibly can be for the moment.” Play begins today in Invercargill and will run through to Sunday.

■ COAST TO COAST

Strong local contingent The Mid Canterbury district will have strong representation in this year’s Coast to Coast multisport event. A huge number of local competitors will line up on the start line at Kumara Beach next weekend to take part in one of the toughest multisport events on the calendar each year – and a race which Mid Canterbury has a proud record in over many years. In information released to the Guardian by event organisers, there is a strong local flavour in all aspects of the event with a wide-ranging group of categories and age groups – catering for all forms of thrill-seekers. While there are no entries locally in the elite one-day event, age group wise there are a number of familiar names. Cameron Harcourt, Mark Summerfield, Matt Amos and Samuel Clements-Stewart are all tackling the one-day event. The two-day individual men event will see Jarrod Coutts, Mark Cressey, Ben Aldridge, Chris Reid and Paul Sinclair competing, while the women’s version of the same event has Germaine Shroy, Jackie Dwyer, Rachel Reid and Rachel Schmack all in action. The teams events have 17 local names featuring, including three young Mount Hutt College students and some well-known Mid Canterbury locals. As well as the entire course, there is the hugely popular mountain run in which this year Ian Blakemore, Jaimee Kearney, Jicinta McBain, Tom Kearney and Kate and Steve Overend will all compete. The race begins with a three kilometre run from Kumara Beach, followed by a 55 km cycle up State Highway 73 to Aickens. The next segment of the race is a 33-kilometre run up the Deception River, through Goat Pass and then down the Mingha River to the Bealey River and SH 73 at Klondyke Corner.

In brief Smith’s succession plan Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy says their 2018 NRL grand final horror show remains a mystery, but they’ve stopped beating themselves up about it. In last year’s title decider the Storm fell behind the Sydney Roosters 18-0 by half-time with the match ending 21-6. Bellamy said the loss had been hard to take but they were looking to move on, with some new, young faces coming into the squad to replace Billy Slater and Ryan Hoffman. Part of that new era is the appointment of forwards Jesse Bromwich and Dale Finucane as the new vice-captains, as Melbourne starts planning for life after Cameron Smith. - AAP

Hopoate fires up John Hopoate claims Paul Gallen has made a mistake getting into the ring with him and he can end the Cronulla captain’s careers in both boxing and the NRL. The duo face off on February 8 in Sydney on the undercard of Tim Tszyu’s fight. “I want to bash Gal, I’ll retire him from footy and boxing,” said 45-yearold Hopoate yesterday. “Does he fear me? Yeah I think he does, this is a big step up for him. I’ve got to give it to him for jumping in the ring, but he’s stepping in with the wrong bloke.” - AAP

Sri Lanka moving on The only team to rival Australia for cricket drama during the last year is hopeful of reversing its fortunes on a batting-friendly pitch in Canberra. Sri Lanka’s troubled tour of Australia plunged further into crisis this week as coach Chandika Hathurusingha was removed from the team’s selection panel. It was the latest in a litany of off-field problems to go with being winless in the test arena since defeating South Africa 2-0 at home in July. - AAP Cameron Harcourt will again return to tackle the Coast to Coast next weekend. For the two-day event, competitors overnight here. From Klondyke Corner, the 15 kilometre cycling leg along SH 73 brings competitors to the Waimakariri River at Mount White Bridge.

From there, competitors kayak 67 kilometres down the river to the Waimakariri Gorge Bridge (Route 72). The race is rounded out by a 70-kilometre cycle to Sumner Beach.

The race will be run for the first time this year under the directorship of Glenn Currie, who himself is a past place-getter in the iconic multisport event and brother of multiple winner, Braden Currie.

Aussies set to stick with same side Justin Langer has hinted Marcus Stoinis will miss out on a test debut against Sri Lanka while Mitchell Starc is expected to keep sharing the new ball. The Australians werel likely to finalise their team after training last night in Canberra, but grass cover evident on the Manuka Oval pitch means Langer will likely stick with six batsmen and no allrounder. “My gut feeling is it’s always nice to keep the same XI after you’ve had a win,” Langer said before training. “We’ll have a look at it this afternoon and if there’s that little bit of grass on it I’d be surprised if we changed the team.” Australia’s bowlers spent just 107 overs in the field in the big win in Brisbane, wrapping the game up in just 2-1/2 days. Pat Cummins claimed his first

10-wicket haul for a match and Jhye Richardson also impressed on debut, while Starc claimed just two wickets and was again wayward at times. But Langer indicated he’d resist the calls from the likes of Brett Lee and Shane Warne to give Cummins the new ball ahead of Starc. “He (Cummins) has done a great job bowling first change for us,” Langer said. “It’s always nice when Starcy gets the ball to swing. “We saw that during the India series, if he gets the ball to swing back in to the right-handers he can be really dangerous. “Jhye Richardson swings the ball as well and he was excellent with the new ball in Brisbane so we will wait and see. “I’d be surprised if we changed that combination actually.” - AAP

Boyce goes ballistic Cameron Boyce couldn’t have picked a better time to score his maiden BBL half-century. The leg-spinner smashed the fastest 50 of this Big Bash tournament in the Melbourne Renegades’ 27-run win against the Sydney Thunder on Wednesday night. Boyce bludgeoned an unbeaten 51 from 22 balls, including five sixes and four fours – the last coming off the last ball of the innings. That knock, coupled with figures of 2-17 from 3.1 overs, was pivotal in the win that secured a semi-final berth. - AAP

Call for more money T20 superstar Glenn Maxwell has backed calls for an increased BBL salary cap, warning the competition for marquee players is going to get fiercer. Dwindling crowds, poor pitches and a lack of close matches have made for an underwhelming BBL season, exacerbated by a shortage of international stars. Bona fide stars such as AB de Villiers and Andre Russell have instead flocked to the Bangladesh Premier League, lured by the convenience of a four-week season and more lucrative deals than the comparatively cash-strapped BBL clubs can afford. Cricket Australia chief Kevin Roberts has indicated the league’s $1.7 million salary cap will be reviewed but it may not satisfy broadcasters Seven and Fox Cricket. - AAP

COACHING SHOWDOWN

In brief Sisters set for Sydney They want the win, and with three titles from their last three tournaments the Black Ferns Sevens have every right to be confident of securing another win at this weekend’s Sydney Sevens. But the Black Ferns Sevens are not expecting an easy run in Sydney, knowing their opposition will be coming for them hard at their third tournament of the HSBC World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series – a tournament where they were thrashed by Australia in the final last year. Sevens flyer Stacey Waaka said she and her “sisters” had done all of the preparation they needed to do behind the scenes ahead of this weekend, focusing on ensuring their bodies were right and staying motivated for their goal of Olympic qualification. - NZME

Scepticism over plans

The team coaches pose during a photocall for the launch of the Rugby Six Nations tournament. The coaches (from left): Scotland’s Gregor Townsend, Italy’s Conor O’Shea, Ireland’s Joe Schmidt, Wales’ Warren Gatland, England’s Eddie Jones and France’s Jacques Brunel. PHOTO AP By Liam Napier

his year’s Six Nations hardly needs a subplot. Ireland, the hunted, must learn to cope with expectations attached to the world’s best. Wales are unbeaten in their last nine tests. England, with the bruising Vunipola brothers back, are a different beast and Eddie ‘grenade’ Jones will keep dropping verbal bombs. Scotland and France could surprise, particularly at home. Italy are, well, Italy; the afterthought until they mount a credible challenge. The World Cup adds another dimension; a psychological edge and the quirk of how much to show or hold back. There will be inevitable concern, too, with every injury cause for endless worry, eight months out from Japan. The inescapable theme, though, is the three leading contenders – Ireland, England and Wales – enter this tournament with, in all likelihood, coaches entering their final Six Nations. Jones is the possible exception having signed a two-year extension last season – the RFU doing its best at the time to keep a lid on mounting pressure to axe the excitable Australian amid a horror tournament where England finished fifth, their worst placing since 1987. Jones has since turned the curve yet, regardless of results, few expect him to continue after the World Cup. What successor wants such a massively controlling personality perched over their shoulder through some peculiar transition phase? “No-one is thinking ‘this is going to be his last game what

are we going to do special for him’,” Jones said at London’s Hurlingham Club, stage for the tournament launch. “You’re talking about the most highly motivated professional players in Europe playing for their countries. They don’t need special things to want to be better. “There’s a sign out there that says this is rugby’s greatest tournament. “If I came here four years ago I wouldn’t have said that but having been involved in it there is nothing like this tournament. “The intensity; the contest, how much it means to people.” The curtain call, in this event at least, for Jones, Joe Schmidt and Warren Gatland signposts significant, imminent movement with many other test posts. Steve Hansen, Michael Cheika and Rassie Erasmus, just to name a few, are also due to finish this year. A new era nears. Next year, test rugby’s coaching landscape will be unrecognisable. Despite best efforts to deflect this notion, Jones and Gatland will be keen to enhance legacies. Pleasantries the pair shared over dinner prior to the launch will soon be forgotten. Given Jones’ spying revelations, don’t expect the Welsh union to again choose the wine and pick up the bill in Cardiff come week three. Schmidt, with his earnest, selfless nature, is a different character altogether. His indelible mark is already stamped on every level of the Irish game. From eighth to second in the world rankings, a run which includes three Six Nations titles in five years, and yet in many respects, his challenge now begins. Ireland are the prized scalp

and, with that, comes a new baseline. Their superhuman efforts that rattled the All Blacks in Dublin last November is now the expected level Ireland must reach every week. Not everyone is convinced they can hit those heights. A knowledgeable Englishman opined in conversation recently that Ireland are best with a chip on their shoulder. The theory went that was now gone, following last year’s unrivalled run, and they will therefore struggle to maintain 2018 standards. I disagreed, on the basis of Schmidt’s proven consistency, but there is no denying the dynamic has altered and Ireland must confront a new pressure. For what it is worth my view is Cardiff, on what promises to be a gripping final day, holds more danger for Ireland – Schmidt having never won a Six Nations game there – than the heavyweight opening weekend when they welcome England to Aviva Stadium. Gatland, as he prepares to bow out from his well-grooved Welsh throne, exudes confidence. Wales sit third in the world yet claim to be under the radar. Even without the influential Taulupe Faletau, they seem well placed after their first unbeaten November. A period of rotation in selected tests has gleaned more depth than ever in Gatland’s decade-long term. From this position of comfort, Gatland is bullish enough to predict that, should Wales defeat France in Paris this weekend, they will go on to take the crown for a fourth time in his reign. “I think we’ve got a great chance of winning the Six Nations if we win that opening game,” Gatland said after announcing his squad.

“That first game is going to be our toughest. “We feel like we’re in as good a position as anybody. The whole thing about Six Nations is momentum. “If you can win your first couple of games, you have a great chance.” On that basis alone Scotland cannot be discounted. Any backline featuring Stuart Hogg and Finn Russell’s attacking threats demand respect. The presence of Dave Rennie’s Glasgow, and Edinburgh, in the European quarter-finals gives reason for hope. And with two weeks at Murrayfield to start, Gregor Townsend’s men could shake the cage, though their away record (7/48) is horrid. France will be hoping to be much more Toulouse than the deeply troubled Toulon but, even then, inconsistency of selection is mirrored by form and their home lost to Fiji in November does not evoke positivity. Winning at Twickenham and Dublin also seems unlikely. On the whole, though, this Six Nations should be as competitive as any. The subliminal subplot of the three-man coaching showdown for a fond European farewell adds that little bit extra to this World Cup prelim.

World Rugby has been told to come back with a significantly increased broadcast deal if radical plans for a World League are to be considered, it’s understood. Following a meeting of leading figures of the global game in Los Angeles, Six Nations sources say there remains considerable scepticism about the proposal, presented by Agustin Pichot, World Rugby’s vice-chairman, to deliver an annual competition to increase the value of test match rugby in the northern and southern hemispheres. - NZME

Broncos influential Caleb Timu admits he still hasn’t got his head around rugby union as the former Brisbane Broncos forward enters his third Super Rugby season with the Queensland Reds. But the code-hopping fringe Wallabies back-rower is becoming more comfortable at Ballymore, where he says the Red Hill work ethic he experienced with the Broncos has crept in. Reds coach Brad Thorn and assistant Peter Ryan both won premierships with the Broncos, while Timu will be joined by his former junior rugby league teammate Bryce Hegarty this season. - AAP

Cloud over Cane All Blacks flanker Sam Cane says suffering a broken neck has given him perspective as uncertainty clouds his return to rugby. Cane will resume playing in the second half of the Super Rugby championship for the Chiefs in a best-case scenario, at least eight months after the injury. Sixty-test veteran Cane is simply grateful to be on his feet. Anything else is a bonus. “It probably put rugby in perspective for me,” he said. “People were saying ‘will you be right for the World Cup?’. I was just like, honestly, that’s the furthest thing from my mind at the moment.” - AAP

Philip fully focused Matt Philip is out to make the most of the World Cup-enforced absence of Melbourne’s Wallabies when the Rebels play their final Super Rugby trial today. The Rebels take on the Queensland Reds in Ballarat without any of their eight Wallabies from the spring tour, with the players rested until round one in accordance with new national guidelines. Star recruit Quade Cooper has been named at 10 and will partner halfback Michael Ruru, with Will Genia unavailable. - AAP

Reynolds seeks redemption David Reynolds will try to move on from the most heartbreaking moment of his motorsport career when he returns to Mount Panorama for this weekend’s Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race. The 2017 Bathurst 1000 Champion was on target to win the famous race for a second time last October when fatigue and cramp set in, handing the lead to the ultimate winner Craig Lowndes. The pair return to Bathurst for the first time since that day for this weekend’s Bathurst 12 Hour, where they take on a host of international drivers and manufacturers. Reynolds said the 12 Hour was an opportunity to reset and forget the events of four months ago. “It’s the start of a new year, any time you come back to Bathurst it’s a happy place,” Reynolds said. Reynolds teams up with his Bathurst co-driver Luke Youlden and Yasser Shahin. “We’ll see how we go. “A lot an happen in 12 hours and it’s a very different race. “We’re confident we can do the job,” he said. Among the internationals are current Intercontinental GT Challenge champion Raffaele Marciello (Italy), and Japan’s 2015 GT champion and Bathurst 12 Hour winner Katsumasa Chiyo. Brazilian BMW driver Augusto Farfus arrives shortly after winning the GT Le Mans class at the Daytona 500. He teams up with former Bathurst 1000 winner Chaz Mostert and Germany’s Martin Tomczyk in the famous BMW Team Schnitzer. “It was a long trip here after winning the race at Daytona so

Celtic move clear Socceroos ace Tom Rogic was not in Celtic’s matchday squad for their 2-0 Scottish Premiership win over St Johnstone at Parkhead. The league leaders struggled to break down the defensively diligent Saints in the first half of the rearranged fixture before they scored twice to extend their advantage to six points. Seven minutes after the break Callum McGregor powered a drive in from 25 yards before fellow midfielder Ryan Christie curled in a second to ensure a less frustrating second period. The victory made it 12 home wins out of 12 in the league so far this season. - AAP

Frenchman Romain Dumas, who won the FIA World Endurance title and the Le Mans 24 Hour in 2016, and triple British Touring Car champions Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal also feature among the overseas contingent.

Unwanted Melbourne City striker Bruno Fornaroli would flourish under Tony Popovic’s set-up if the Uruguayan decides to join Perth next season, according to Glory’s football director Jacob Burns. Former Socceroos midfielder Burns believes Perth would be able to get the best out of Fornaroli, or any other potential recruit, if they decided to link up with Popovic. Reports are rife that Glory have already agreed to terms with Fornaroli for next season but Burns says no deal has been done. Fornaroli hasn’t played since a spectacular fallout with coach Warren Joyce after the win over Wellington. Joyce claims the 31-year-old Fornaroli has been left out after failing to meet the team’s fitness standards. - AAP

Hartley lifts the lid on Formula One axing Brendon Hartley has opened up on the heartbreaking moments which saw the end of his Formula One career. While the Kiwi hopes to find a Formula One seat again, the reality is that just over one season with Toro Rosso will almost certainly be the F1 total for Hartley. He saw his world crash down just one hour after his final F1 drive of the season. In a heartfelt piece for The Players’ Tribune, Hartley starts off: “It’s kind of funny, or maybe it’s sad, but you never picture the end, right?” He talks of being the kid in his Palmerston North bedroom, dreaming of F1. Those dreams never included the following though. “Monaco Grand Prix – the race every driver looks forward to,” he writes. “When I look back now, what I will remember most about it is walking down to the paddock to meet with the media on the

Wednesday before the weekend started, and receiving a bunch of questions about my future. “Here I am, a handful of races into my F1 career, and I’m being asked about the end. “The worst part of that day, though, was finding out there was some truth to the rumours. “After a few races, there were some people, it appeared, who didn’t want me there. I’ll be honest, this was a bit of a shock.” Hartley said he was stunned to find that after all of his other racing success “there was talk of my being replaced so early”. Hartley writes: “That’s life in F1, though. The sport has so much money and so many people involved, it’s only natural that there are politics. If you’re a fan you know it, and if you’re a driver, you live it. “… the way I responded, the way I put my head down and kept going. “That’s one of the things I’m most proud of this season.

Brendon Hartley: Felt he was part of a Kiwi Formula One jinx. “… going into Abu Dhabi, I knew that no matter what happened after the race I would leave the circuit with my head held high. “But, like the fans, I had no idea what was going to happen. That’s the thing about the politics in F1, it can be a little bit … awkward. “Everyone sort of walks on egg-

shells, and there isn’t always clarity. “So I just did all I could: my job. I out-qualified my teammate and drove to 12th on Sunday night. “An hour later, I was summoned to a meeting. And a few minutes after that, I was no longer an F1 driver.

“I went back to my driver’s room, I hugged (wife) Sarah. “There were some tears, some sadness, but also already looking to the future and the next steps. “It was clear to me then that from as far back as Monaco there was a plan in motion to move me on. “That was it. What I thought didn’t matter.” Hartley also suggests he felt part of a Kiwi jinx. “After the midway mark of the season I couldn’t help but think of my fellow Kiwi Chris Amon, who had been dubbed the “Most Unlucky Driver in F1 History,” Hartley writes. “What is it about Kiwis in F1? “From hitting birds, being taken out on the first laps, engine penalties, suspension failures and other issues that weren’t always mentioned in public, it felt like I was going down the same path.” Hartley lost his Toro Rosso seat to Formula 2 driver Alexander Albon for this year. - NZME

Stunning reversal

By Niall aNdersoN Where, exactly, did that come from? India, fresh off three consecutive ODI thrashings of the Black Caps, strolled out to bat at Seddon Park having lost just nine wickets all series, and supremely confident of producing another dominant performance. 92 runs later, they had lost 10 more, being completely ripped to shreds in their lowest score ever mustered on New Zealand soil, their seventh worst of alltime. It was a total that took just 14.4 overs to chase down, as New Zealand’s batsmen took an aggressive approach on their way to an eight-wicket win. While Martin Guptill (14 from four balls) and Kane Williamson (11) didn’t last long, Ross Taylor added a rapid 37 not out and Henry Nicholls – promoted to the top of the order in place of the dropped Colin Munro – looked composed in an unbeaten 30. Able to still play in the attacking nature desired by the coaches at the top of the order, Nicholls can also show requisite caution when necessary, and his opening effort was a promising sign as the Black Caps try to fix their top order woes. However, it was hardly a stern test required for the New Zealand batsmen, after Trent Boult produced one of the greatest spells of his career to maul the Indian top order. Boult remarkably went 10 overs unchanged as he claimed the stunning figures of 10-4-215, swinging the ball with venom as no Indian batsman could answer his scintillating spell. Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Kedar Jadhav and Hardik Pandya were his victims. Dhawan and Jedhav were trapped plumb lbw by searing

inswingers, Gill and Sharma offered sharp return catches, and Pandya fended at a short ball; caught behind, his ultimate fate. Boult had bowled well in the series to date without reward, largely due to India’s class with the bat. But with Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni both missing, their usual middle-order strength was diluted, and as Boult was causing havoc at one end, Colin de Grandhomme struck at the other. In perhaps the most surprising element in an innings full of shocks, de Grandhomme – he of the ODI bowling average of 54.8 – came on at first change and immediately caused problems with his nagging seam away from the batsmen. He had assistance from some truly rash Indian batting. Given a rare chance for extended time at the crease, Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik both flung the bat at line-and-length seamers outside off stump. Rayudu’s attempt flew to short extra cover, where Guptill claimed a scorcher above his head, while Karthik got an edge through to Tom Latham behind the stumps. Both were gone for ducks, and when de Grandhomme knocked over Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s stumps shortly after, India were at 40-7, and staring down the barrel at their lowest ODI total. Some brief swatting from Pandya got them past that mark – 54 – and Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal added 25 for the ninth wicket to save the smallest of face. But, as Jimmy Neesham wrapped up the innings, India had their unwanted place in the record books. And, after the Black Caps had no problems cruising to victory, their World Cup hopes suddenly look a lot brighter. - NZME

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t need to take the safe path. It’s not scenic or more direct. It’s not smoother really. The only redeeming thing about that path is that it’s known. Take the unknown and less travelled path. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When you like a person, you like how they sound, look, smell, reason and more. But if even one of those things is off, it can impede the progress of the relationship. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If you feel you know everything about a person, you’ll be uninterested in that person until something happens to shake it up and remind you that you can never know everything about a person. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You don’t mind being a servant (everyone is in one way or another) but you want to make your own terms, and you should. Spell them out. Write them down. Understand your rights and responsibilities. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Make a move to show that you know your own value. You are one of a kind. As you honour your unique character, the world will seem to cater to your sensitivities and proclivities. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Critiques are not personal and shouldn’t be taken as such. The proverbial red marks on your essay are signals that there’s room for improvement. Take the note; get better. Before you know it, you’ll be a master. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Doors open and close quickly today. Drink more water. It will keep your brain sharp and ready to jump through the opportunities as they open up, without hesitation. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When one in a couple is happy, the other is, too. That’s love. Compassion takes it a step further – to be happy because another human is happy, perhaps someone you don’t know. That’s great love. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Noisy, superfluous thoughts could easily distract you from what’s useful and important if you weren’t so vigilant. Ways to mentally quiet down include meditation and exercise. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The new currents will be strong as riptides. How does one keep from getting caught up in something as powerful as that? Don’t fight it in a polarised way. That’s futile. How can you move sideways? AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): To be someone’s soft place to land is a beautiful role. You’ve needed that in your own life, when it wasn’t there and when it was. You know the difference, and so you’re happy to provide. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Sometimes it takes laser focus to progress, and other times, like today, it just takes moving forward in the same direction all the others around you are going, like you’re one fish in the school.
